• (#10) There's Nothing Worse Than A Disseminator Of False Vegan Information

  So one of my girlfriends is vegan, and she always tries to spread rumors or make me believe myths about animal products. 

  Today, for example, she tries to convince me that cow's milk has puss in it. I promptly search this on Google, and lo and behold, it's not true. In fact, everywhere I look said that whoever tells you such myths only tells you to stop you from drinking milk.

  Though I never, ever judge her on what she eats, she constantly attempts to "convert" me into a vegan. She tells me meat causes cancer, milk has puss, eggs are extremely unhealthy, a full laundry-list of facts that may or may not be real. I understand her passion for avoiding animal products, but it feels like I'm the atheist and she is the cherry-picker Christian.

  How can I get her to stop? Whenever I tell her what she says is false, even if I send a link to a website debunking the myth, she gets rude and gives me attitude. This is the most annoying thing I have had to deal with, ever.
• (#14) Stop Checking Facebook

  This is her latest status:

  "Super pissed at all of you guys who are horrified at the possibility of animal testing for party pills but contribute to animal testing on a daily basis. Come on guys."

  How can I respond to not be completely rude but put her down?
• (#12) One More Reason To Avoid Your High School Reunion

  I am attending a high school reunion, and an old schoolmate begins telling us about her job as a waitress at a high-end restaurant. She gets a bit graphic detailing how the chef kills multiple lobsters, and my vegan friend who is listening with me puts her fingers in her ears!

  I'm also a vegan but I found this incredibly rude and thought it sent out a message that vegans are antisocial extremists, which Iguess might be the case with my friend.
• (#13) There's Nothing Worse Than Hypocritical Vegans

  I became vegetarian last summer, and went full vegan on January 1st this year. As a heads up, Veganuary really provides the needed push into a full transition. My brother also became vegetarian and went mostly vegan when he married his wife, who has been vegan for years (most of her life, I think), so I got excited to have something to connect with them over.

  But I know now they're just vegetarian, even eating fish and chicken sometimes. These are the people who made me feel like a monster for eating meat, and pushed me to not eat dairy or eggs because it was inhumane. They, mostly my sister-in-law, would berate me for calling myself an animal lover when I contributed to animal suffering, and now the f*cking hypocrites contribute to animal suffering themselves.

  Am I wrong to be horribly pissed that they did this? It would be different if they'd been chill about being vegan, but they were awful.
• (#11) Not A Level-Three Vegan

  I have a very alternative, kind of pretentious vegan friend who is very strict and "moral" in his food choices, consuming only vegan chips/crisps and beer and definitely not eating eggs because the industry is so terrible and what not. 

  However, he would not flinch an eye at killing and eating fish or insects or other "lower" beings because allegedly "they can't feel pain." Personally I find this drawing-a-line-here to be incredibly hypocritical because either you value life or you don't. Just because you think a fish doesn't have an evolved-enough nerve system to "feel pain" doesn't make it OK to kill them.

  It was a good day when I found out, real vegans don't actually eat fish.
• (#8) What Doesn't Give You Cancer?

  I get into a mildly heated discussion with a lady friend about whether or not milk gives you cancer. When I ask her what she believe the mechanism might be, why it differs from human milk, she simply says "I don't know I just think it does."
